Daily real estate briefing: Rising supply, slower apartment price growth and strong social housing demand

The real estate market continues to see notable developments as supply rises sharply after a prolonged period of compression. Nearly 100,000 products have been introduced to the market, raising concerns about oversupply, although liquidity at many new projects shows that demand for quality products remains. In Ho Chi Minh City, apartment price growth is slowing as supply improves and purchasing power weakens, while forecasts suggest that a significant correction could emerge between 2028 and 2030. Hanoi is also expected to enter a period of adjustment and clearer market segmentation over the next two years. In the social housing segment, more than 12,000 people registered to compete for 750 apartments, highlighting strong demand while developers continue to face obstacles related to capital, profit margins, procedures and land funds. In Me Linh, the Minh Duc social housing project includes 612 apartments, of which 551 are expected to be offered for sale at an estimated price of nearly ...

Daily Real Estate Briefing: High Apartment Prices, Rising Credit and Notable Market Developments

Vietnam’s real estate market continues to record a number of notable developments. In Hanoi, the Yen Ky Cemetery Park project, which has been delayed for seven years due to site clearance difficulties, is accelerating its resettlement work; 111 eligible households have been allocated more than 20,200 square meters of land. The city has also placed 58 facilities on a relocation list because they are no longer compatible with planning, including Viet Ha Beer Factory and Rang Dong’s light bulb and thermos facility, along with several large-scale land sites. Regarding construction safety, Hanoi has ordered an inspection of subsidence and cracks at Hanoi Homeland apartment complex, an assessment of structural risks, and a suspension of nearby construction if serious safety risks are identified.

In terms of prices and capital flows, average apartment prices were recorded at 123 million VND per square meter in Hanoi and 108 million VND per square meter in Ho Chi Minh City, indicating that housing prices in the two major urban areas remain high. Outstanding credit for real estate businesses rose by more than VND 284 trillion in the second quarter, exceeding VND 2.5 quadrillion; credit for purchasing land-use rights alone increased by more than 23%. The market is expected to improve toward the end of the year as supply increases and interest rates may cool, although purchasing power and home prices remain uncertain. Lower interest rates can ease borrowing pressure, but long-term debt repayment capacity remains decisive, particularly for families weighing homeownership against continued renting. In the investment segment, riverside rental apartments in Da Nang, notably Symphony 5, are attracting attention due to demand from the city’s international professional community. Vinhomes Hai Van Bay is also preparing to launch Vinh May, a sea-facing hillside residential area that takes advantage of the natural terrain of the Hai Van range.

Internationally, global capital is returning to China’s real estate market to test new valuation levels and seek profits. Japan has also drawn attention after Brookfield made a real estate purchase in a country whose population has declined for 17 consecutive years. In the United States, limited housing supply and high salaries in the artificial intelligence industry have pushed rents in San Francisco to the highest level in the country. Other trends attracting interest include factory-produced housing in the US, the boutique model focused on privacy and depth of experience, and a range of amenities increasingly sought by homebuyers. At the household level, small details in the bedroom can affect a room’s sense of warmth, while white vinegar is introduced as a way to clean toilets and remove bathroom odors.

Real estate news roundup: Updated planning information; falling condominium prices in Hanoi; major infrastructure and project updates plus transaction risk alerts

As demand for information rises, Ho Chi Minh City is rolling out the publication and updating of data across multiple sectors, including planning and construction information, so that individuals and organizations can access and use it. At the same time, the market also saw warnings about risks and legal disputes. In Tam Binh Ward (HCMC), authorities cautioned that a social media post claiming to sell 46 plots of land after an “opening” is inaccurate. Separately, concerns around shared-ownership conflicts were highlighted, noting that uncertainty in legal implementation and management authority can increase the risk of disputes between residents and related operators.

Real Estate News Brief: Credit, Infrastructure and Supply Enter a New Phase

The real estate market continues to see notable developments, ranging from credit policy and land regulations to changing buyer behavior. As Hanoi home prices have climbed so high that even high-income earners are becoming cautious, experts have proposed classifying real estate credit risks instead of applying blanket restrictions. Under this approach, resources should be prioritized for legally compliant projects that meet genuine housing demand. The trend of buying property for living, business, exploitation and cash flow generation is also gradually replacing speculative sentiment, while the launch of professionally developed projects is giving buyers more options. On the financial support front, Vietcombank has introduced a VND 20 trillion credit package with interest rates reduced by 1 percentage point per year, while VIB is offering a five-year fixed interest rate policy for homebuyers. In terms of management and infrastructure development, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung signed De...
